For example, if your organization is focused on certain, more specialized, aspects of reliability, such as Design for Reliability (DFR) or maintainability, we can work with your team to develop a detailed schedule of recommended courses to better suit those specific needs while still ensuring that all requirements for CRP certification are met.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"color: #0093d5;\">Tracking and Publicizing Your Certification<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; font-weight: normal;\">The CRP program uses a web-based system to manage and track your progress toward certification.

If a group of CRP participants choose to work together on a project, each participant must submit a separate project proposal that clearly identifies the aspect of the project that he\/she will be individually responsible for, and that aspect by itself must be sufficient to meet the requirements of a CRP project. Likewise, the CRP Presentation credit can only be granted to the individual who is identified as the principal author for any given paper or presentation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; font-weight: normal;\"><strong>Can I earn CRP credit for any reliability-related paper or presentation?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; font-weight: normal;\"><strong>No.<\/strong> In order to satisfy the CRP Presentation requirement, the paper or presentation must be used to communicate some or all of the results of your CRP Project.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; font-weight: normal;\"><strong>What is the role of the CRP Project Mentor?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; font-weight: normal;\">When your project proposal is accepted by the CRP Board, a Project Mentor will be assigned. The Project Mentor will review the technical aspects of your project prior to project initiation, midway through the project and at the completion of the project. When appropriate, the Project Mentor may provide feedback based on his\/her experience with the subject, including suggestions for improvement and issues that need to be addressed before moving forward.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; font-weight: normal;\">It is important to note that a CRP Project Mentor is not a consultant or coach. In other words, the Project Mentor will not tell you how to design and carry out your project and he\/she will not initiate reminders about specific tasks that may need to be completed. It will be your responsibility to compile and submit materials for review at each stage of the project and to find ways to address any concerns or issues identified by the Project Mentor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; font-weight: normal;\"><strong>Have there been any changes to the CRP certification requirements?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; font-weight: normal;\"><strong>Yes.<\/strong> The CRP certification requirements were modified in January 2007 and again in November 2013. Participants will be allowed to complete the certification under the requirements that were in place when they entered the program.
